Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I look up someone who was in prison or on probation/parole in the past but is no longer incarcerated or under community supervision?

This website only displays information for Wyoming inmates and offenders who are currently in prison or on probation or parole. The website does not provide information for inmates at county jails, as those facilities are not under the authority of the Wyoming Department of Corrections.

Q: How do I search for an inmate or offender?

You can search for someone by their inmate number and/or a minimum of the first two letters of their last name. The additional search fields may help narrow your search, however if can’t find the person you’re looking for try using just their last name. The locator uses identifying information obtained from official court documents and does not include nicknames or aliases. The locator works best in Google Chrome and the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Q: What does consecutive sentence mean? When will that information be displayed?

A consecutive sentence is a sentence the inmate/offender must serve following completion of his or her current sentence. The consecutive sentence information will be displayed at the time the sentence goes into effect.

Q: How do I register as a victim to receive updates on inmate/offender movement?

If you are the victim of the crime for which the offender is incarcerated or on parole, please review the Victim Services section on the WDOC website (corrections.wy.gov). If you are not the victim of the crime, you can register for general information through VINE (Victim Information Notification Everyday) at vinelink.com.

Q: What does projected discharge date mean?

Projected discharge date for inmates represents the anticipated discharge date from incarceration if not released to parole supervision. Projected discharge date for probationers and parolees represents the anticipated discharge date from community supervision. Projected dates are subject to change based on court orders, parole board action and offender conduct. Probation discharge information may not be updated for up to 45 days to allow for data processing.
